I have to admit to being confused by the animation system in Vue, and with Vue 5 Infinite the situation hasn't changed any. I just can't seem to get a handle on it, the plane preset seems to work reasonably well straight from the wizard but changing anything results in wierd movements & angles. The helicopter preset seems particularly problematic, even straight from the wizard it has odd jerky movements and is impossible to correct. I see how Phillipe Bouyer has some fantastic movements in his promotional videos but I can't seem to get anything like that in mine. I'm certainly no stranger to animation either, I usually export Vue scenes into Lightwave because I know I can control the camera there perfectly, then import it back in. However I feel I'm losing some potential creativity here, the movements in Phillipe's animations are wonderfully fluid and natural, I'd like some of that :D Anyone else feel like this? Anyone have any tips etc?
